Informatics and data meetup at HIMSS 2016

Can healthcare be improved with data?

If we are going to answer that question, it will be through the use of informatics and data. Informatics is the approach many of us involved in researching and delivering health care use to link medicine with data. As many informaticists, data analysts, researchers, practitioners, and students gather for HIMSS 2016 I’d like to offer you the opportunity to network with fellow informaticists, data analysts, researchers, students, and others at an informal informatics and data meetup on March 2 from 7 am – 9 am at MonAmiGabi inside the Paris Hotel.

Welcome to my informatics and data blog. This evolving website and blog are designed to bring you the latest in health and health research technologies, data, and benefits. I will also share my views on a variety of topics. I hope you enjoy the site and leave comments.
